Default Re: Game almost repaired: What I did and what\'s left

An excellent post and my compliments on your english. I think the term you were looking for is "reverse implied odds". NL is "big bet" poker and you are looking for ways to get your opponents stack in one hand. Reverse implied odds is when you have AK and the flop comes K82r. It is a lot easier for you to hit your hand than it is for your opponent to hit a pp, but if he puts his stack in then the chances are good that your TPTK is beat. If you are deep stacked the value of your hand will go down if you hit the flop. If you're short stacked this would not be a problem and your hand will play much like Limit.

The one thing that I fail to pay enough attention to in my game is the constant statement found in High Stakes posts regarding how difficult it is to play a hand OOP.

A final bit of advice that I have found useful is to study how strong players use position to their advantage.
